This is from a reliable source from WSI who is affiliated with Charlotte. He had the Adkins info earliest in the morning on trade deadline day, and then it was reported in print much later. He also hinted that Shingo would be released as there was no locker or plane info for him after he was designated.

 

Interesting to do this before Sep 1. Obviously it's because of Pods but now he gets a shot at the playoff roster

 

EDIT: Sorry just now saw that it was already in the Willie Harris thread

As said earlier. Maybe he could contribute and if he does really well that means two things. End of Griffey rumors and he might get a playoff roster spot with us.

how the hell is this the end of the JR rumors? it isnt, the deal can, and will still happen

Will it now? Hmmmm.

Chris Young has been batting lead-off the past few games in AA...could we see him in Chicago soon given Pods injury? I hope Anderson answers the bell as a much needed left-handed bat (with Rowand batting lead-off) because I would love to have our team strengthened from within. I would like to have Griffey but I just hate to give up Chris Young. I know potential is often given too much value but I am afraid to see the scenario where we give up Young and Rogo, Griffey comes over and gets hurt and/or we don't win it this year. Chris Young goes on to be the next great CF and we have Griffey from age 35-40 with no steroids.
